 * Can anyone see what on earth the problem is with this script? Nothing is happening
   and I cannot understand why. Firebug doesn’t flag any errors and there are no
   other frameworks that should conflict with it
 * Here is the URL of my blog (very much a work in progress, so please ignore it
   in its current state)
 * [http://www.generalpie.com/](http://www.generalpie.com/)
 * and here is the URL of the tester that proves the script does actually work. 
   As you can see it is not mine, it is a nice one from consideropen.com
 * [http://generalpie.com/menutest/test1/mootools1.2_animated_menu.html](http://generalpie.com/menutest/test1/mootools1.2_animated_menu.html)
 * Please help me with this. I’ve been trying to get a nice looking menu together
   and try and learn a bit of javascript at the same time but everytime I try and
   do something simple I am thwarted. Feel like not even bothering to learn. Been
   on this and a jquery one (which I ditched despite how much effort I put into 
   trying to make it my own script) for about 10 days without being able to get 
   it at all.

 * I’ve just tried running a really simple script and it does absolutely nothing:
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript">
       window.addEvent('domready', function(){
       var accordion = new Accordion('h3.menusection', 'div.menusection', {
       opacity: false,
       onActive: function(toggler, element){
       toggler.setStyle('color', '#333333');
       toggler.setStyle('background', '#FFFFCC');
       },
       onBackground: function(toggler, element){
       toggler.setStyle('color', '#FFFFFF');
       toggler.setStyle('background', '#999999');
       }
       }, $('mymenu'));
       });
       </script>
       ```
   
 * with the following html and style
 *     ```
       <style type="text/css">
       body{font-family:"Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:11px; }
       ul, li, h3 {border:0; padding:0; margin:0; list-style:none;}
       h3{background:#CCCCCC; padding:4px; font-size:12px; color:#999999; border-bottom:solid 2px #999999;}
   
       #main{width:500px; margin:10px auto;}
       	#accordion li{border-bottom:solid 1px #DEDEDE;}
       	#accordion li a{padding:3px 6px; display:block; text-decoration:none;}
       	#accordion li a:hover{background:#EFEFEF;}
        </style>
       ```
   
 * `<div id=”mymenu”>
    <h3 class=”toggler menusection”>Menu Section 1</h3> <div 
   class=”element menusection”>

 * I’m at the point now where i’d be willing to pay for someone to point out what
   is wrong because I’m past the point of being angry and upset now. I’ve spent 
   too long trying to get any scripts working and this isn’t even remotely a priority
   for my course.
 * Anyone, please.

 * Ive posted a job up on there. A bit bizarre against the rest of them being requests
   for plug-ins and entire sites, but hopefully someone will have a look on the 
   cheap.
 * Or even better, someone will have a look on here for FREE!
 * Can someone who has a mootools script on there wordpress link me their URL so
   I just compare?

 * Can someone actually help me with this please? I’ve actually ran out of things
   I can do to get this done.
 * There are surely thousands of people who have managed to successfully use mootools
   on their site. Can someone please just have a look?
 * Ive never known a forum like it. Your help request lasts 20mins on the front 
   page, there must be millions of unresolved help requests. What kind of community
   is this?

 * One that doesn’t use Mootools very often, apparently. I dont know anything about
   Mootools I’m afraid but looking back through this thread, I’m wondering if it’s
   the approach you’re using to load the js that’s the problem. Have you checked
   the [Using_Javascript](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Javascript) Codex page?
 * Or you could have a look at re-using some of the scripts included in WP?
